It doesn't matter what I think. It doesn't matter what other people think. You have to get on the ice and participate and play and the best team wins.

It's just amazing how many companies suddenly want you to hold up their products after you've held up the Stanley Cup.

You know, I've held women and babies and jewels and money, but nothing will ever feel as good as holding that Cup.

I wasn't a great skater and I needed my skates to be perfect - really tight around the ankles. But I couldn't break in new ones because my feet would hurt so much. I wore a size 9 shoe and a 6.5 skate - my foot was really crunched.

Look at guys like Larry Bird and George Brett and John McEnroe; that's what they did in their careers. They all wanted to be the guy under the microscope late in the game or late in the match. So you just take on that know-how that that's part of your responsibility, and you learn that's what makes it exciting. That's what makes it fun!

One hundred percent of shots not taken don't go in.

I have absolutely no complaints about my life. But people think I got handed everything, all this kind of fell in my lap, that I was just God-gifted with all this talent. I wanted people to realize it's a lot tougher than just waking up one day and you're in the NHL.
